Death penalty in China will be more humane
7 January 2008The Chinese officials declare planned transition to more humane way of a death penalty: in the long term shootings will be completely replaced with a lethal injection.
It has declared by the vice-president of the Supreme National Court of China Tsian Sinchang.
As he said, this step has been positively taken by condemned and members of their families. To this day the most widespread way of execution in China is shooting.
China does not publish official statistics on the amount of the passed death sentences in the country.
But according to the remedial organizations Amnesty International, China executes more people, than any other country in the world - in 2006 there were carried out 1010 death sentences.
Among crimes which are punished by death - corruption, murder, rape, drug-smuggling.
However Minister of Justice has rejected an opportunity of full refusal from death penalty, referring to necessity of public safety maintenance.
